'Thoughts' in the Bible

But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking, replied, "Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?

It is out of the heart that evil thoughts come, as well as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, false testimony, and slander.

But Jesus turned and told Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense to me, because you are not thinking God's thoughts but human thoughts!"

because it's from within, from the human heart, that evil thoughts come, as well as sexual immorality, stealing, murder,

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, Jesus rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind me, Satan, because you're not thinking God's thoughts, but human thoughts!"

Indeed, a sword will pierce your own soul, too, so that the inner thoughts of many people might be revealed."

But Jesus, knowing their inner thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Instead, their thoughts turned to worthless things, and their senseless hearts were darkened.

They show that what the Law requires is written in their hearts, a fact to which their own consciences testify, and their thoughts will either accuse or excuse them

Do not pay anyone back evil for evil, but focus your thoughts on what is right in the sight of all people.

Is there anyone who can understand his own thoughts except his own inner spirit? In the same way, no one can know the thoughts of God except God's Spirit.

and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are worthless."

Therefore, I tell you and insist on in the Lord not to live any longer like the gentiles live, thinking worthless thoughts.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, as it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.
